Three people with a vision of new possibilities...
New possibilities for humanity, of healing the body, mind and spirit; of moving towards a vision of a life that calls for our positive and best qualities.
This is St Michael's vision.
The New Faith says Faith is an act of the total personality, and it calls upon us to discern and analyse the world around and use this understanding to build a Faith in ourselves. It is a vision of people finding a better happier flourishing way to live.
The New Faith focuses on what Jesus of Nazareth was pointing to;
Basic human attributes -our personality affecting our actions, and the choices we make and the choices we ignore.
Human dignity and human potential,
The energies of renewal and inspiration
A life that is healthy and flourishing
The spirit of inclusiveness, compassion and kindness
The awareness of forces that can send us backward.
A new faith that is relevant to people in the 21st century.
The New Faith comes as a shock to many people. It says faith is not about which God you believe in or how you pray, it is about the way you live. This is in contrast to a faith that is judgemental authoritarian, dogmatic and negative, emphasising how sinful we are rather than our best possibilities.
The New Faith sets before us the goals of living fully and generously. It recognizes that people can be ugly, judgemental and violent; it draws on the great themes of acceptance, inclusion, human potential and wholeness. It looks to the God not "up there" but to the God seen in a good spirit in human relationships and conversations.
